Madam Lydia

Victorian London. Lydia, now a fully-fledged working girl, is in great demand, both at the Silken Web bordello and for lucrative 'private engagements.' She also finds herself becoming a mentor to her alluring younger colleagues, Kate and Emily, although her relationship with them is as intimate as it is sisterly. 
 
As Lydia assists an increasingly wealthy and hedonistic clientele with the realisation of its wildest fantasies, she begins to enjoy the exhibitionism and ritual role-play involved as much as the physical pleasures she has always relished. Then Lady Amanda - a regular client with a taste for lesbianism and depilation - introduces Lydia to a clandestine society which tests her sexuality to its very limits. 
 
This is the fourth book in Philippa Masters' Lydia series.

Lydia in the Bordello

Lydia, now back in England following her adventures in Africa, becomes concerned about the double standards inherent in Victorian society. Yet she is also faced by the brazen young women she sees in Brighton's drinking-houses, and even more so by the trade they ply. 
 
During a visit to London, she is taken under the wing of the mysterious Lady Amberson, who is, as Lydia suspects, not quite the respectable society lady she seems. Asked by Lady Amberson to help provide some very special entertainment at one of her exclusive private parties, Lydia is initially shocked. Then as she ponders her capacity for sexual pleasure, Lydia realises that, should she refuse, she would be guilty of the hypocrisy she so despises...

'S' - A Story Of Submission

When Margaret answers an advert which seems to promise an escape from her dull life, little does she realise that her fantasies of total submission are soon to be fulfilled. Becoming 'S', she enters into a hidden world of domination, subservience and discipline, in which she is punished for enjoying orgasms without permission and forced to perform humiliating tasks she secretly finds highly arousing. 
 
With the help of expert disciplinarians she explores the furthest bounds of her sexuality, finally realising the depravity of her darkest desires. 
 
Philippa Masters is the author of the highly popular Lydia series.
